Poll: Is Georgias new "death warrant" on abortions a good idea?

[Vesayen]

Taken from another board:

You can expect to see a lot more newly born babies in the trash bins if this passes. You have to get permission to abort a baby, yet you don't have to, to even get pregnant.

At what time in our society will you have to get permission to concieve a child? I'm guessing by 2010.

This just upsets me big time.

Georgia legislators will introduce a bill early next month that refers to abortion as an ''execution'' and will require any mother seeking an abortion to go to court to obtain a death warrant.

''A mother would have to argue why the child should die and why her rights would take priority over the rights of the child,'' said Rep. Bobby Franklin, R-Marietta, who sponsored the legislation.

Once a mother filed for a death warrant, a guardian would be appointed to protect the rights of the unborn child. That guardian would be authorized to demand a jury trial in which the rights of the unborn child would be balanced against the rights of the mother seeking to have the ''execution'' performed.









I(anti abortion-except in the case of the mothers physical(not mental or economic, you can afford to skip that vacation) health, or rape) heavily support this!

The litigation and legal battle what would last at least nine months, PLUS the appeals, ensuring abortions never happen in Georgia!

It's a terrible idea, for the usual reasons.

Why don't they just ban it instead of wasting taxpayer's money tieing up courtsystems effectively banning it anyway?

Stupid, stupid religious conservatives.

Abortion as a means of contraception is stupid.

[David Floyd]

Well, the first thing Georgia needs to do, it seems, is to medically establish if and when a fetus is a human.

But this idea in general strikes me as a bad idea.

[Jaakko]

seems to be a good way to describe Georgia's legislators.

David Floyd for President

Im, I don't think that decision is up to Georgia, David.

True, but forcing people to keep a child they don't want or can't afford is hardly intelligent.

It will be struck down by the first Federal Court that hears a case on it. It's just a waste of Georgia taxpayer money.

Not to mention passing a law which ties up the court systems and wastes taxpayers money...

[SlowwHand]

The reason abortion is "popular" is the total lack of responsibility required.

Maybe not ultimately, but one would think that Georgia's lawmakers would at least attempt to find doctors to research it, because I would think that that fact has at least some bearing on abortion, right?

I would rather be an underprivleged and neglected child, then never have been born.....wouldnt you?

Good point, but the question is, can the government require one to be responsible in this situation? IE, can the government regulate sex between consenting adults? Precedent says they can, of course, but reason, common sense, and individual rights say that it can't.

Although I agree that abortion should never be the first choice, and that people should be a lot more responsible when they decide to have sex.
